Terence Crawford added another bejeweled line to his career ring resume on Saturday night in Los Angeles, defeating Uzbek champion Israil Madrimov by decision to take his WBA title at 154 pounds and claim belted status in a fourth division since going pro in 2008.

The 36-year-old Nebraskan won eight of 12 rounds in the eyes of one judge and seven of 12 on two remaining scorecards to boost his record to still-pristine 41-0.

The win opens up another series of options for the pound-for-pound star’s next fight and the B/R combat got together in the aftermath to frame those options in terms of what could happen, what probably will happen, what we wish to happen and what would stretch the limits of the modern internet.

Take a look at what we came up with and drop a thought in the comments.

Crawford has always been a belt-acquiring type.

He was “only” a one-title winner as a lightweight, but developed a fondness for jewel-encrusted trinkets upon moving to 140 and didn’t the weight class until he was recognized as champion by the IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO.

He had the same M.O. at welterweight, where he consolidated his greatness with a brutal stoppage of Errol Spence Jr. last summer that made him a four-belt champ.

The win over Madrimov yielded a single belt at 154 and the fastest route to gathering all four goes through Fundora, the freakishly tall (6’5.5″) southpaw who emerged with the WBC and WBO titles after a bloody 12-rounder with Tim Tszyu in March.

It was Fundora that Team Crawford had its eye on while plotting a course at 154 in the first place before Fundora veered off into a would-be fight with the also-climbing Spence that’s since been postponed.

Maybe it’ll be next. Maybe they can match the winners.

But now that Crawford is a champ at 154 and former for Errol Spence Jr. has moved up the ladder, there’d certainly be interest in getting the two welterweight rivals back together for a re-do of their highly-anticipated bout last summer.

Crawford was a dominant winner but there were suggestions that Spence’s issues with making 147 pounds might have compromised his effectiveness, so there’d be enough reason to believe the outcome could change to make it an easy sell.

And if Spence and Fundora do get together first in their own title bout then it’s an even easier sell for the winner to go straight into what’d be a three-belt showdown with Crawford.

“The possibility is there,” Crawford told Forbes.

We’ll leave this one to the money guys.

Crawford has been working with boxing insurgent Turki Alalshikh, and it was the Saudi entertainment authority boss who assembled the Riyadh Season fight card on which Crawford’s dethroning of Israil Madrimov was the main event.

Alalshikh was predictably making the rounds at ringside and in doing so chatted up Golden Boy Promotions founder Oscar De La Hoya, whose prized welterweight prospect Vergil Ortiz Jr. climbed to 154 to begin the year and has won two straight bouts by first-round KOs.

He’s on the schedule for a third fight at the weight later this month and Alalshikh said on Saturday’s fight broadcast that Crawford-Ortiz was a fight he wanted to orchestrate going forward.

Ortiz is 21-0 with 21 KOs since turning pro in 2016, fighting an average of 3.38 rounds.

If you’re a fan of Canelo vs. Crawford, Saturday was a rough night.

The idea that Crawford was pushed 12 rounds for the first time in eight years and was touch-and-go on the scorecards with a guy at 154 pounds who’d had just 10 previous fights doesn’t do much for the idea that he can climb another 14 pounds to face a guy on Alvarez’s level.

And while we won’t suggest we’re experts on “Bud’s” psyche or the way he presents himself, he certainly seemed a bit less intense about the proposition after going 12 rounds with Israil Madrimov than he had in the months and weeks prior.

It was less competitive and more financial.

“If the money’s right,” he said, “we got a fight.”

Toward that end, the aforementioned Turki Alalshikh said he’d made an offer to Team Canelo and it would be up to the Mexican superstar whether or not it’d happen.

Alvarez has a September fight scheduled with Puerto Rican slugger Edgar Berlanga, and you can count analyst Sergio Mora, a former champion at 154, among those thinking Crawford would be biting off more than he can chew.

“I don’t think he should be moving up to super middleweight,” Mora said. “There’s a limit to greatness.”

Terence Crawford more than triples Israil Madrimov’s disclosed purse for Crawford vs. Madrimov

Terence Crawford pocketed a disclosed purse more than three times larger than now-former WBA champion Israil Madrimov for their boxing showdown this past Saturday.

Crawford, who became a four-division champion with a unanimous decision over Madrimov to capture the WBA junior middleweight title, earned a disclosed purse of $2,500,000 for his handiwork. Madrimov, competing in his 10th professional bout following an extensive and decorated amateur career, earned a $750,000 disclosed purse in the losing effort.

The California State Athletic Commission released the event’s salary report on Monday in the aftermath of Crawford vs. Madrimov, which took place at Los Angeles’ BMO Stadium.

In addition to Crawford, one other fighter on the card crossed the seven-figure threshold with their disclosed purse — now-former WBA super lightweight champion Isaac Cruz earned a $1,500,000 disclosed payday for his stunning upset loss to Jose Valenzuela ($500,000) in the event’s co-headliner.

A complete list of the Crawford vs. Madrimov salaries can be seen below. As always, these figures do not represent a fighter’s total earnings, as certain sponsorship incomes, pay-per-view earnings, and other streams of income are not publicly disclosed.

Terence Crawford Names 3 Opponents Tougher Than Israil Madrimov

Terence Crawford won a world title in a fourth weight class on Saturday with a unanimous decision victory over Israil Madrimov.

On two of the judge’s scorecards, one round separated the two men, and it appeared Madrimov gave Crawford one of–if not the most brutal fights of his career. When Crawford was asked if Madrimov had brought him his toughest fight, the future Hall-of-Famer quickly dismissed the idea.

RELATED:Terence Crawford vs Israil Madrimov fight live updates, round-by-round analysis

Why does Crawford not consider the Madrimov fight his toughest despite winning by the smallest margin of his career?

No opponent has ever come within a round of winning a fight or drawing with Crawford on any judge’s scorecard.

“I was touching him up with the jab,” Crawford said. “I think my jab was beating him up all through the fight. He landed a couple of right hands that were telling for the judges or the fans, but it was nothing that I had never seen before.”

You can watch the entire post-fight presser in the video from Fight Hub below.

As a spectator and someone who has seen every Crawford fight since 2013, I would say the Madrimov fight was his toughest.

UPDATE:Terence Crawford vs. Israil Madrimov live results: Blow-by-blow updates, highlights and analysis

While the Kavaliauskas fight had some tense moments, there was never a second where I questioned if Bud was in control. Crawford earned and deserved the victory over Madrimov, but there were some moments when I wondered if this was the night we see the all-time great take his first loss.

The fight’s difficulty level had nothing to do with Crawford showing any signs of slippage; it was more about Madrimov’s skill and game plan.

The Uzbekistan fighter might be the second best 154-pound fighter in the world, and depending on his opponent, we could get some answers to that question in his next fight.

American Professional Boxers Mayweather And Gotti To Face Off Again In Mexico City

Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III prepare for a High-Stakes rematch

RELATED:Money Team Boss Shares Extraordinary Detail on How Long Floyd Mayweather Will Keep Fighting

In their previous exhibition, Mayweather, known for his typically relaxed approach, surprisingly adopted an aggressive strategy from the start against Gotti. The opening round saw Mayweather executing sharp jabs and hard rights to the body. By the second round, his defensive prowess was on full display, skillfully avoiding Gotti’s attacks while engaging in verbal taunts. Throughout rounds three to five, Mayweather showcased his showmanship, landing precise shots with ease.

However, tensions peaked in the sixth round when Gotti forced a clinch with 1:12 remaining. Despite referee Kenny Bayless’s efforts to separate them, Gotti persisted in holding Mayweather, prompting the referee to halt the fight. Unhappy with the stoppage, Gotti attempted to land a punch past the referee but missed. In response, Mayweather countered with a right-hand shot, igniting a chaotic brawl between both camps.

Andy Ruiz and Jarrell Miller fight to 12-round majority draw

LOS ANGELES – Andy Ruiz started strong but faded late. Unfortunately, Jarrell Miller was not able to capitalize on it.

Ruiz and Miller fought to a majority decision draw Saturday night before a partisan crowd at the BMO Stadium. One judge scored the bout 116-112 for Miller, while the other two judges scored the bout 114-114.

Miller, who resides in Brooklyn, New York, goes to 26-1-2, 22 knockouts. Ruiz’s record now stands at 35-2-1, 22 KOs.

After a dull start, towards the end of Round 1, Ruiz landed a right-left combination to the head that stunned Miller. The bell sounded before Ruiz was able to follow up. In Round 2, Ruiz stuck out jabs to the body of Miller in an attempt to set up a cross to the head. With about a minute left in the round, Miller connected with a right cross of his own, snapping back the head of Ruiz.

Miller continued stalking Ruiz early on, hoping to land one punch, but he was cognizant of Ruiz’s hand speed, particularly with left-right combinations to the head.

Miller finally let his hands go more in Round 4. Miller stalked Ruiz, dialing in to throw and land right hands to the head. Ruiz countered by connecting straight and counter right hands to the body of Miller.

About midway through Round 5, Miller landed a series of left hooks to the body of Ruiz. Miller followed up with a hard left hook to the head that momentarily stunned Ruiz. Miller continued his onslaught, even landing a barrage of punches that shook Ruiz as the bell sounded to end the round.

Miller continued to focus his attack to the body, following up with a hook or cross to the head of Ruiz, who looked gassed. Miller walked Ruiz down, letting his hands go in spurts. While he was winning rounds during the second half of the fight, Miller was not as active as he could have been, considering how exhausted Ruiz was.

Ruiz had a decent start to Round 9, but Miller dominated the last half of the fight, backing Ruiz in a corner and battering him to the head. Miller continued to focus his attack to the body during Rounds 10 and 11, but he also landed to Ruiz’s head.

Ruiz attempted to fight in spurts. The punches that did connect had little effect on Miller. Sensing he was down in the fight, Ruiz let his hands go. The second wind allowed him to throw and land looping right crosses to the head, but Miller dug to the body with left hooks to the body.

After the fight, Miller, who was stopped by Daniel Dubois in his previous fight on December 23, stated he thought he did enough to win.

“I know I did enough to win,” said Miller. “I threw more punches. I had him backing up the entire fight. It’s called effective aggression. I kept the pressure on and I hit him with the more effective punches. I had the fight in the bag.”

Ruiz admitted he hurt his right hand during the fight. Images of Ruiz’s right hand looked as though it looked fractured or dislocated.

“I haven’t fought in two years and I’d love to have a rematch here at the BMO Stadium,” said Ruiz. “I thought I did pretty good. My right hand started hurting me in the fifth round.”

Ruiz, who resides in Imperial, California, had not fought since September 2022 when he defeated Luis Ortiz by unanimous decision. The 34-year-old won the unified world heavyweight title in June 2019, stopping Anthony Joshua. Ironically, he took the Joshua fight on short notice after Miller had to withdraw from the fight after testing positive for banned substances.

Ruiz would lose the rematch against Joshua six months later.

Preliminary action

In a clash of unbeaten middleweights, Steven Nelson dropped Marcos Vazquez twice en route to a fifth round knockout victory. Nelson improved to 20-0, 16 KOs.

Nelson, who resides in Omaha, Nebraska and is a stablemate of Terence Crawford, focused his attack to the body of the southpaw Vazquez, who attempted to counter with hands and rights to the head.

Less than a minute left in round three, Nelson dropped Vazquez with a right hand to the head. Vazquez beat the count, but began to look worse for wear. His nose was bleeding, likely from a straight right to the head that connected earlier in the round. Vazquez’s punch output dropped with each passing minute. Late in the round, Vazquez was hurt by a combination thrown by Nelson that almost dropped him to the canvas.

In round five, Nelson backed Vazquez against the ropes and landed a left uppercut to the head, dropping Vazquez to one knee. Referee Ray Corona immediately waved the fight over at 50 seconds.

Vazquez, who resides in Tijuana, Mexico, falls to 20-1-1, 10 KOs

In the opening bout of the Riyadh Season card, welterweights Ziyad Almaayouf (5-0-1, 1 KOs) of Saudi Arabia and Poland’s Michal Bulik (6-7-1, 2 KOs) fought to a majority decision draw. One judge scored the bout 59-55 for Almaayouf, while the other two judges scored the bout 57-57.

Terence Crawford vs Israil Madrimov fight live updates, round-by-round analysis

Terence Crawford is back in the ring tonight, looking to take over a new weight class.

Arguably the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, Crawford is a three-division world champion and has twice been undisputed. In his most recent fight, Crawford dominated former unified world champion Errol Spence to become undisputed at welterweight.

After a rematch failed to materialize, Crawford turned to the 154-pound division and its WBA champion, Israil Madrimov. Madrimov is undefeated and will be defending the title for the first time, after winning it in March with a fifth round TKO of undefeated contender Magomed Kurbanov.

“The challenge of moving to 154 and fighting Madrimov is a hill that you have to climb,” Brian McIntyre, Crawford’s trainer, said. “I know that the team and everybody around the team want(s) challenges like that so you can say we are the best out there. We have solidified that over the years.”

Terence Crawford vs. Israil Madrimov live results: Blow-by-blow updates, highlights and analysis

Riyadh Season has reached Los Angeles and on Saturday night (6 p.m. ET, ESPN+ PPV), Terence Crawford (40-0, 31 KOs) faces WBA super welterweight champion Israil Madrimov (10-0-1, 7 KOs) in a highly anticipated bout at BMO Stadium. For most fighters, moving up in weight to capture another title is a career-defining feat. For Crawford, who has already held titles in three divisions, it has become almost routine.

Crawford, known for his exceptional fight IQ and technical ability, faces Madrimov, a naturally bigger and stronger opponent. While Crawford told Yahoo Sports he is confident in his body’s readiness to compete at 154 pounds, some believe he may be underestimating the risk. Madrimov’s trainer, Joel Diaz, suggested that Crawford, who began his pro career in 2009 at super lightweight, could face more danger than anticipated against a solid 154-pound fighter like Madrimov. At BetMGM, Crawford is a -600 favorite to defeat Madrimov, who is at +450.

Madrimov is eager for a breakthrough and sees the Crawford bout as a chance to transform his and his family’s lives. Crawford, however, insists he’s focused on fighting the best, not just setting up future paydays against stars like Canelo Alvarez.

A victory for Crawford would further solidify his legacy, potentially earning him a fourth world title in as many weight classes. As “Bud” continues to gain recognition beyond hardcore boxing fans, a win on this star-studded Riyadh Season card could elevate his profile even further.

Gervonta Davis could bypass Shakur Stevenson and rematch one of his toughest rivals according to promoter

By Admin August 3, 2024

A win this weekend for Isaac Cruz could prove huge for the “Pitbull”.

It hasn’t been too long since Gervonta Davis‘ last fight, but the boxing world wants to know what “Tank” is going to do next. Another show-stopping knockout victory, this time against Frank Martin, once again proved that Davis is arguably the most dangerous fighter on the planet.

That would generally make it difficult to find him a willing opponent, although Shakur Stevenson continues to claim that he’s fully ready to negotiate and get the possible mega-fight done. There are still plenty of obstacles to clear for that to happen, which could pave way for others to enter the fray.

Isaac Cruz vs Tank Davis rematch coming in November?

According to the VP of Communications at Haymon Sports, who lead Davis’ promotion company PBC, Isaac Cruz could find himself in a rematch with Davis later this year.

I think Tank’s date is November. I guess that’s a possibility if Pitbull comes through his fight unscathed. The timing works out… I would like to see him in a rematch. I would really like to see him and Pitbull go at it again, with Tank not having a hand injury or anything like that. I thought it was one of his toughest fights. Just to see how that would be with him at full strength.”

American promoter and former professional boxer, Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s Net Worth is estimated to be $460 Million. By the way, some people also say that his net worth was more than a billion dollars at one time. The main reason for this was that he was taking 300 to 400 million dollars for one fight, and then suddenly his net worth came to around $460 million.

What is Floyd Mayweather’s Net Worth and Salary Per Fight?

American promoter, Floyd Mayweather’s Net Worth is around $460 Million as of 2024. Floyd Mayweather used to charge at least $20 million per fight. His guaranteed fee for a fight can be up to $100 million. Recently when he fought with Logan Paul, it is believed that he got 30 million dollars for this match. This was his lowest earnings in the last 10 years, most of the time he used to earn more than 100 million dollars from every boxing match.

Although he is saying that he has retired for the last time, before this he has announced so thrice. Do you know that his father was also his manager and coach from the beginning of his life till 2013, Floyd Mayweather fired him from both jobs in 2013, and then after 1 year, he came back as a coach again.

As far as retirement is concerned, he has retired for now, but there is no confidence in his retirement because he retired in 2007, then after that, he retired in 2010, retired in 2015, and then is going to retire again in 2020.
